It has been found that there is no study done with two and three dimensional imaging related to kidneys of the Kangal dogs in the literature
review. The aim of this investigation is to seen that for the first time in Kangal dogs; to obtain the measurements and localizations of the
kidneys using the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) image. In the study, 5 males and 5 females of a total of 10 adult Kangal dogs
were used. The images obtained from MDCT were stacked and overlaid to reconstruct the 3D model of the kidneys using 3D modeling
software (VITAL, Vitrea 2, HP XW6400 Workstation, USA). The locations of kidneys, their width, length and thickness, and their distance
from columna vertebralise of the centers were measured and analyzed statically. In all animals except one material, right kidney
measurements were higher than in the left kidney. In a female dog, rotation anomaly was detected in the right kidney. Whereas, no
significant statistical difference was observed in the statistical analysis results. It has been concluded that the results of the research will be a
source for both anatomical investigations and similar studies in the future.
